Trials: No Contest Plea

My question involves criminal law for the state of: in general

How can a judge say before a session at court, that all no contest pleas will result in a conviction. From what I know, all no contest means is that you are not disputing the police report(which i can't understand why any one would do that before reading said report.)

So for instance some one is arrested for vandalism, and the police report reads as follows:

Witnesses saw a white male in his early 20's a batman costume spray paint a smile face on the Lincoln memorial. Arrested suspect blah blah blah at the washington memorial, during a comic convention based on appearance. Suspect identified themselves at request, and then asked for a lawyer. "

Theoretically pleading no contest, when you're arrested for being in a costume at a costume party, should result in the Judge throwing the case out for lack of merit, right.

Interested because every time I've been in s court room the judge says that legally a no contest plea is a request a bench trail with only the facts in hand, and no rebuttals, and that i will find you guilty, which seems very odd.
